Summary:
Join AIA Chicago as we celebrate Studio Gang, the distinguished recipient of the 2026 AIA Chicago Firm Award, presented by Pepper Construction.
The evening begins with an opportunity to discover Flyway City: Architecture for a Flourishing Ecosystem, a new exhibition designed and co-curated by Studio Gang and the Chicago Architecture Center. Following time to explore the gallery, we’ll move to CAC’s Joan & Gary Gand Lecture Hall to see an overview of Studio Gang’s work over the past 10 years, hear from firm leaders, and raise a glass as we present the AIA Chicago 2026 Firm Award to the staff.
More lite bites, refreshments, and time for networking, learning, and sharing continue following the presentation of the award on CAC’s terrace. All are welcome to celebrate the firm and this special AIA Chicago award.
